Hasn't been long before similarities between him and Moyes are starting to appear.
Could be on for another season of severe underachievement afterall...

"It's not fair" - Van Gaal on fixtures 2014
posted on 23/6/14
He changed it at half time against Australia and was about to until they scored against Spain.
Evidently he's not afraid to change things around if they aren't working so I'd imagine we'd revert to a more natural formation if it wasn't working for us.
Gonna be interesting to see how we set up either way.

Not concerned enough to post the biggest backfire thread in ja 606 history though.
That's right up there with "we don't let this slip"

I watched the whole thing just now. He says the next day was a new day so any arguments or grudge the previous dy was forgotten about.
Like the way he said Cathy said there sons would be daddy's boys when they turn 16 and SAF said she was right. Like the unveiling of the SAF stand statue where he said about Cathy being the right person to unveil it.
Rooney saga was blown out of proprtion and they had a handshake after 2012/13 league win and are on speaking terms and expects if in a room like today that he expects there would be no problem.
The Glazers were the owner who speaked to the chief executive Gill I believe once a week for running of the club. No issue for SAF in his time.
He also says about bring in youth level and getting that setup helped give him more time in his early years at Man utd with Bobby charlton. He also said tha Bobby charlton didn't understand why the players at Preston couldn't play at a high level like Bobby Charlton himself and decided management wasn't for him. The managr being the main person at the club and Beckham is a good role model and he says he never understood why he went to la galaxy or be it he was happy he was playing in the champions league under ac milan and ajax.
He best loved whe going in at haf time behind then doing a comeback win,having a happy dressing room at end of game, the crowd at OT all going home happy.
The part I liked was him saying about Abramovich being in contact with his agent but he was not going to the competition. Even at the end he says he us not going to manage again so its a waste of money putting him down on abet to manage any team.
He also has a share on a horse that was one of the favourites but got injured before the race once. He wants to be part of a race winning horse.
He also went on about giggs parents when he was a kid giving tea. Beckham about marriage changing him.
